Reaffirming the State of Oregon's commitment to its relationship with Taiwan.
This concurrent resolution (SCR 26) reaffirms Oregon's longstanding relationship with Taiwan, specifically referencing Oregon's sister state partnership since 1986 and Portland-Kaohsiung sister city ties since 1988. It commits Oregon to supporting the reopening of its trade office in Taiwan, Taiwan's meaningful participation in international organizations (like WHO and INTERPOL), and advancing a U.S.-Taiwan trade agreement. The resolution highlights Oregon's economic ties with Taiwan, noting Taiwan as Oregon's fourth-largest import source and ninth-largest export market in 2023 ($2.1 billion in total trade). As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but formally expresses Oregon's support for strengthening economic and cultural engagement with Taiwan.
